Check back for an update on 2012 road projects.
Please remember that our road workers safety is always of
of concern as well as that of the traveling public.
Line striping will take place during the summer months.
Drivers are reminded to please observe the direction and speed requirements
during this process. It will result in a better striping project as well
as decreasing the chance of paint splatter on your vehicle.
A reminder to all travelers, please remember that when you
see a missing road sign or find a dangerous situation on any township roadway
you are asked to contact the township road department as soon as possible.
Should you leave a message after hours, please remember to include your name and
contact information so we can confirm the location and the needed repair.
The extent of work done on the roads throughout the township can range from widening, new drain work, resurfacing, correcting or replacing ditch lines, line striping and so forth. Repairing potholes that have developed is an ongoing project throughout the township. Spring through the fall months will find many of the roads repaired throughout the township. You may experience some delays in travel as roadways are resurfaced or repaired.
Occasionally the question arises about township roadways that are not paved surfaces and the upkeep of those roadways. Middle Smithfield Township has maintained a number of roadways that fall into this category for many years. These roads, although not main thoroughfares, are in fact, well traveled by both hunting and fishing enthusiasts alike.
Maintaining the road system is a multifaceted task. Other projects that are involved in the broad spectrum of work includes brush cutting, working with the Adopt-a-Road volunteers, sign replacement and installation, vehicle maintenance, township complex projects, and upkeep of the existing park areas.
